Regardless your engine size, how much money are you spending in gas in your daily driver ?

If you have calculations for a day, a week, a month, i can use that. And if you want, post your MPG.

Thanks.

1997 5.0 Explorer AWD, about 100,000 miles on motor and trans.

$50-$60 per week, 87 octane, 21 gallon tank, $2.89 per gallon

13.5-15 mpg local, 18-20 mpg highway with cruise on.

As my foot gets heavier, my mileage goes down.

$80-90 a week, and that's a 20min (both ways) commute, business miles (visiting clients) and all other DD type stuff (groceries, etc.).

We average around 600km to a tank.

$90 @1.069/L = 84.19L

600km / 84.19L = 7.12km/L (or 14.03L/100km, wich is in standard Metric fuel economy terms)

600km=372m 84.19L=22.23Gal

372m / 22.23Gal = 16.7mpg

Holy ! That's a lot better than I thought we were doing. I remember reading that our '91 Cherokee (not a Grand like our current car) 4.0L HO made 12mpg new.

2000 Durango 175k; Wife driving = 10.5 mpg city (she don't drive much on highway): Myself driving; 11.5-12.5 city/17-18 Hwy. In town we spend right about 60 a week, that's not with too much extra driving. Uses mid-grade, holds 25 but usually takes 18- 20 gls to fill

93' Tempo 37k; $30 a week. We get almost 2 weeks per tank. Love the cheap stuff :D most put in, 13 gals

Wife works 6 blocks from the house. She usually drives the Durango.
I take the son to and from school (approx 8mi round trip each time) and most of other DD duties.

I thought I was feeling the GAS pain in my 94 cougar 4.6 I'm spending about $30 a week. That is for mainly work and some running to get stuff for projects, and food. It helps that works is about 1-2miles away.

A "normal" week in the Scorpio runs me about $35.

Depending on any additional driving it might be as high as $50/week

in the g6 my wife gets about 27mpg and fills up about once a week.

the tc gets about the same mileage, but i fill up more then her... i like to goose it here and there on the highway.

the ranger gets abotu 14mpg if i drive it normally. when i take it out to play with it, i can easily go throught a tank in less then a day.
